c passage 2 ignores the benefits of fresh air mentioned in passage 1.
d neither passage provides any evidence regarding the physical state of the children.
answer:

Explanation:

Passage 1 argues the program boosts physical health via hiking, while Passage 2 argues it exhausts children, making them unable to study. This means Passage 1 focuses only on physical health benefits and does not address the negative impact on academic/educational function that Passage 2 points out. Option A is incorrect because the passages disagree on the program's effect. Option C is incorrect as Passage 2 does not address fresh air benefits from Passage 1. Option D is incorrect because Passage 2 provides evidence about children being exhausted (a physical state).

Answer:

B. Passage 1 fails to consider the negative impact of over-exertion on other areas of life like education, which Passage 2 highlights with the example of the sleeping student.
